But remember, these are not the first harsh words to come from Kotelnik.
He has an axe to gring, so there is obviously an issue there.
Kotelnik's comments about other Ukranian fighters not getting airtime.....
..... anybody know if there is any truth to that ?

Maybe Kotelnik is simply jealous of K2, and if he did get a better deal with King and all he cares about is the money then he would be a fool not to take the better deal. And since K2 has only been promoting fights for a couple years I don't think it would be unreasonable to believe that Don King would have more money to play with. I also tried to locate a list of the stable of fighters that K2 promotes and I can find nothing, does anyone have a link to their fighters?

Lawsuits and fraud prosecutions filed against King
In 1954 King killed a man who wanted to rob one of his offices. The sentence was not guilty due to self-defence.
In 1967 he was sent to prison for life for murder. King killed an employee who owed him US$ 600. King did not stop striking the man when the police arrived. The victim died five days later in a hospital. Later the punishment was reduced to manslaughter which resulted in 15 years of prison. After only three years and eleven months King was released from Marion Correctional Institution in Ohio on parole in 1971.
King has been involved in several litigation cases with boxers that were focused on fraud. They include a 1980 trial in which Muhammad Ali sued King for underpaying him $1.2 million for a fight with Larry Holmes. Ali settled for $50,000. Tim Witherspoon sued King and won $900,000. Mike Tyson sued King for $100 million, alleging the boxing promoter cheated him out of millions over more than a decade.[9] It was settled out of court for $14 million.[10]
In May 2005, King was sued by Lennox Lewis, who wanted $385 million from the promoter, claiming King used threats to pull Tyson away from a rematch with Lewis. Terry Norris settled a lawsuit out of court against Don King for breach of contract for $7.5 million. In early 2006, Chris Byrd sued Don King for breach of contract and the two eventually settled out of court under the condition that Byrd would be released from his contract with King.[11]
